Zinedine Zidane won his ninth cup with Real Madrid with a win over Atletico Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup. The Frenchman made a name for himself after winning three back-to-back Champions League titles with Real Madrid before he left the job.

Zidane returned to the Bernabeu to lift a struggling Real Madrid side in January 2019. He started his process to rebuild the Spanish giants and he got Eden Hazard to fill Cristiano Ronaldo's void in Madrid's squad. Zidane's tactics helped Real Madrid win their first trophy of the season and president Florentino Perez was all praise for the 47-year-old manager.
